FRIDAY RANDOM TEN

It’s Friday once again, which means it’s time for this week’s Digital Debrief of Musical Miscellany, spewed straight out of the iPod d’Elisson.

I don’t know about you, but I am certainly ready for the weekend. Watching the Missus and the Mistress of Sarcasm slave away in the basement, cleaning out ten years of Accumulated Crap, is a soul-crushing experience.

Did I say ten years? No - it’s more like thirty. There is junk and detritus that I’ve been schlepping around since our early days in Texas...and before. It’s easy to be a Pack Rat when you (1) have room for your stored crap, and (2) have an employer who is willing to pay to schlep it from one corner of the country to another, every time you relocate. Magazines. Carbon-film typewriter ribbons. Stuffed animals. Photographs. Clown makeup. Old sewing machines. Hundreds of Sunday color comics supplements.

I haven’t been sitting completely idle all this time, having been engaged in a minor project of my own. I’ll tell you more about it when it’s done.

Meanwhile, what’s on the box today?
